Never Buy A Hat If Your Feet Are Cold

Never Buy A Hat If Your Feet Are Cold

Those of you who know me know that "Never Buy A Hat If Your Feet Are Cold" is the title of my first published book. However, that book was about taking charge of your career and your life. The title came from my years at Xerox Corporation where they consistently bought companies and invested in products that didn't fit their strategic direction.

In life we all have made choices that we wish we could take back. I chose a second wife because she was the direct opposite of my first wife - Never Buy A Hat If Your Feet Are Cold. I chose to take promotions for more money that were less fun - Never Buy A Hat If Your Feet Are Cold. I chose to buy a Cadillac Biarritz Diesel (in the seventies OPEC oil crisis) because it was better looking than a much more reliable Mercedes Diesel. The car turned out to be an unreliable piece of shit - Never Buy A Hat If Your Feet Are Cold.

I learned from my mistakes. My third wife is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I never again took a job promotion for anything other than my happiness. I now drive a very reliable Honda with great resell value. I stopped Buying A Hat When My Feet Were Cold.

Enough about me, what about YOU? Are you still making choices for the wrong reasons? How many times do you say to yourself: "what the hell was I thinking?" Are you befriending people because they might get you something you can't get on your own? Are you still in a job you hate because you don't want to take a risk? Are you still in a relationship because getting out of it is just too hard?

I hope none of the above is happening to you. I hope you realize you are in control of making changes for your benefit not theirs. I hope you have realized you should:
